I am a CNA and thinking about taking classes to become and Ultrasound Tech but I am still very unsure of what specialty in the medical field I want to go into. I wanted to get my RN but my neurologist said because I have a slipped disc in my back that it's not possible. I want to prove him wrong but I am having trouble choosing. Can you guys tell me what specialty you work in and when you knew it was what you wanted to do?

Why would anyone want to prove their neurologist wrong? Disc herniation can cause life long problems.Ultrasound technicians also lift and move patients.
Choose your back.
I will be getting physical therapy for my back. I have been told all my life I would never amount to anything
Physical therapy may or may not improve on the pain. The disc will remain herniated.
Only you can amount to something. You do not need to use your back to be successful, you need your mind.
